Fortunately, just as Chu Chen was in a difficult spot, a roar came from behind him: "Your subordinate Wang Biao is here!"
"General Wang has brought his personal guards, that's great!"
Chu Chen and the other two rejoiced.
Chu Chen quickly circulated his spiritual energy and blasted forward, without any particular technique, relying solely on the power and thickness of his spiritual energy to force Luo Jiang, Zhu Hong, and the others back.
He then sheathed his sword and, holding one in each arm, lifted Princess Xin Yue and Shao Li Li.
"Forgive me."
"Ah~"
Both girls cried out in surprise.
Their waists were held by Chu Chen, pressed tightly against his.
Princess Xin Yue was somewhat better, as Chu Chen had carried her before, and their bodies had already made intimate contact.
This was Shao Li Li's first time, and her face turned so red it looked like it could drip water.
The two girls exchanged glances, seeing shyness in each other's eyes.
Chu Chen, holding both girls, hurried back.
Wang Biao arrived with his men just in time. Without time to greet Chu Chen, he quickly ordered his men to form an empty formation in groups of five to block the front.
The cavalry was approaching, their long spears glinting with cold light.
"Those people in front are truly useless, they still haven't killed these personal guards."
The leader of the cavalry cursed inwardly with dissatisfaction.
Although the personal guards were wearing armor, the momentum of the cavalry charge was not to be underestimated.
The two sides instantly collided, resulting in casualties on both sides. The cavalry then broke through and turned to charge again.
If they didn't deal with these personal guards, they wouldn't be able to kill Chu Chen.
Seeing that the personal guards were being dealt with, Luo Jiang, Zhu Hong, and the others exchanged glances and continued to attack Chu Chen.
"Your Highness, these personal guards can't hold off the cavalry, we should flee first."
Chu Chen frowned and asked.
"Good!"
Princess Xin Yue quickly nodded.
In such chaos, she had no idea what to do and could only listen to Chu Chen. She believed that Chu Chen could definitely lead them both to safety.
Chu Chen turned and ran without hesitation.
Wang Biao, who was fighting, saw this and breathed a sigh of relief, ordering his personal guards to desperately block and counterattack.
The entrance to Shuangyue City was a plain. With cavalry in pursuit, it was impossible to go this way; how could two legs outrun four legs?
Chu Chen simply headed for the small woods on either side. Once inside, the cavalry would be at a loss, unless they dismounted to pursue.
Luo Jiang and Zhu Hong led their subordinates in pursuit, shouting as they chased, "Princess Xin Yue, stop struggling, you can't escape!"
"These two are like dogs."
Chu Chen cursed angrily.
But with two people under his arms, it was difficult to turn back and fight, nor could he stop.
After entering the small woods, with the trees providing cover, Chu Chen temporarily stopped.
He put the two girls down and looked at Shao Li Li, saying sternly, "Miss Shao Li Li, you've seen the situation now. We can't escape in a straight line back to Shuangyue City with pursuers on the plain, and there are experts behind us. With two people, I won't be able to maneuver effectively."
Shao Li Li's eyes dimmed upon hearing this, thinking Chu Chen was going to abandon her.
Princess Xin Yue immediately became angry and wanted to say something.
Chu Chen interrupted, "I'm not abandoning you, but you don't need to be frightened with us. Both waves of enemies are after me and Your Highness, it has nothing to do with you."
"So, I plan to place you on a tall tree. As long as you don't make a sound, you'll be absolutely safe."
"Later, they will chase me and Your Highness and won't bother about one less person, you. What do you think?"
The two girls were stunned. Shao Li Li immediately nodded and replied, "I understand."
Seeing her agreement, Chu Chen grabbed her waist and leaped up a tall tree like a climbing vine, placing her on a thick branch to sit.
He said seriously, "Stay here and don't make a sound. I will bring people back to find you when we return."
"Okay! I absolutely won't make a sound." Shao Li Li wiped away a tear from her eye.
Chu Chen nodded, leaped down from the tree, returned to Princess Xin Yue's side, and then picked her up, immediately stopping her from speaking.
Outside the small woods, Luo Jiang and Zhu Hong hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to continue the pursuit.
From the moment they made this decision, they had no turning back.
Entering the small woods, Luo Jiang and Zhu Hong indeed did not discover Shao Li Li above them, and they continued to pursue forward, passing her by.
After a chase for a while, when Luo Jiang and Zhu Hong finally caught up, they discovered that Chu Chen was alone.
"What's going on? Where is the princess?"
Luo Jiang and Zhu Hong were stunned. Their target was Princess Xin Yue, not Chu Chen.
"You bunch of guys, you were having fun chasing just now, weren't you?"
Chu Chen stood with his sword, looking at them with cold eyes.
"Quickly tell me, where did you hide Princess Xin Yue?"
Luo Jiang shouted angrily.
"Do you think I would tell you? Commander Luo Jiang of the Imperial City Guard, and Deputy Commander Zhu Hong."
Chu Chen's words shocked them.
"How do you... Kill him!"
Their identities exposed by Chu Chen, Luo Jiang and Zhu Hong were greatly alarmed.
They called out and intended to silence him, absolutely unable to let the Empress know that they had brought people to assassinate Princess Xin Yue.
"A bunch of trash acting so arrogant, did you really think I was afraid of you before?"
Chu Chen twirled his long sword and advanced instead of retreating.
He circulated the spiritual energy within his body and immediately unleashed the Chang Hong Sword Technique.
Although this sword technique was a martial art, it had many merits and was most suitable for close-quarters group combat.
Five consecutive strikes, each one fatal.
"Ah~"
Under the five swords, five people died instantly, startling Luo Jiang and Zhu Hong into retreating, not daring to approach.
"How is this possible! How can you, a little eunuch, be a martial cultivator!"
Luo Jiang roared in disbelief.
"Second brother, let's go quickly, we're no match for him!"
Zhu Hong trembled in fear.
"Go, retreat!"
Luo Jiang gritted his teeth but had no choice but to retreat.
None of them were martial cultivators. The strongest among them was only at the mid-stage of the Ancient Martial Realm, how could they be a match for a martial cultivator?
"Now you know my strength and want to run? No way!"
Chu Chen sneered and chased after them.
The strength gap between them was not on the same level. How could several Ancient Martial Realm experts be a match for a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator?
Not only were there two major realms between them, but also the vast difference between a martial artist and a martial cultivator.
How could someone who moved qi and blood fight someone who used spiritual energy?
"Ah~"
"Damn it! I'll fight you to the death!"
Screams came from behind, one after another. Luo Jiang and Zhu Hong discovered that only the two of them were left.
And they hadn't even run a hundred meters.
Unable to help themselves, the two turned to fight desperately, but when they turned around, they didn't see Chu Chen's figure.
Alarmed, just as they were about to look around, they discovered that their vision was in mid-air.
"Isn't that my body?"
Before closing their eyes, they thought in confusion.
